It’s that time of year when the major perfume houses launch new fragrances, just in time for you to make holiday scent memories. Here are some of our favourite new offerings.

Good Girl Collector Edition
The acclaimed perfume Good Girl by Carolina Herrera Fragrances now sparkles in an exclusive Collector Edition which comes in two differently embellished stiletto-shaped flacons.

One is decorated with a tri-coloured silver glitter and wrapped in a powerfully shimmering outer box, while the other, of which only 300 units are available at Debenhams, is manually coated with almost two thousand Swarovski crystals and presented in an irresistible black velvet jewellery box.

Myrrh & Tonka Limited Edition
The latest offering from Jo Malone is a nomad song of sand and smoke-threaded twilight. The rich, potent sap of the Namibian myrrh tree, harvested by hand since time began, mingles with whispers of warm almond, lush vanilla and the fragrant gifts of the addictive tonka bean. Created by master perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui, the scent is noble, sensual and intoxicating with its top note of lavender leading to a heart of omumbiri myrrh and finishing with the base of tonka.

Les Parfums Grands Crus
Parfait de Rôses and Rôses Berberanza

Created in 2016, the Maison Lancôme collection is a tribute to the haute parfumerie savoir-faire from which the brand with the rose first grew. In 2017 this rose, which has been the iconic symbol of the Lancôme brand for over 80 years, finds itself at the heart of two completely new creations: Parfait de Rôses and Rôses Berberanza. Thoroughly modern, each offers a unique interpretation of this flower. We are invited to float away to the fresh rose fields of Grasse, on the syrupy note of sensuous Parfait de Rôses; or bathe in the heady opulence of damask roses, with honeyed and spiced Rôses Berberanza. Each has been created by a different master perfumer to give distinct aromas to the iconic rose. And they come in beautiful, highly collectible bottles – themselves works of glass art.

Eternity Intense Calvin Klein for women
The variations on this iconic scent are seemingly eternal. This latest edition builds on the exhilarating feeling of the original with an energetic burst of aquatic floral notes. A base of vanilla crystals is irresistible and utterly addictive. Lending intensity is a sensual orris heart, which deepens the sense of femininity and elegance while ensuring the overall impression is one of deep desire and lasting passion. Top notes come from aquaflora, bergamot and living orris, mid notes are orris concrete, osmanthus and liquid rose and the drydown features sandalwood, musk and benzoin for a fragrance that’s fresh, floral and exhilarating.

Narciso Draw Your Seduction
In his designs Narciso Rodriguez is inspired by art and believes drawing is the foundation. He has said he thinks in black and white with shades of nude. The colours of the three scents in his new fragrance line are carefully considered. The initial fragrance, NARCISO eau de parfum, is a warm stone-white, inspired by a stone found on a visit to Aphrodite’s birthplace. This particular ‘white’ doesn’t just capture an aesthetic purity; it alludes to the mythical romance of the fragrance.  The blush colour of NARCISO eau de parfum poudree signifies extreme seduction while black, the colour of NARCISO eau de toilette, implies mystery. Available at leading retailers.
